NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect package and not the qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The application failed to account for exceptions thrown by the loadManifestFromFile method during add-on signature verification. This flaw, triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest, could have caused runtime errors that disrupted the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may have been bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 133, Firefox ESR < 128.5, Thunderbird < 133, and Thunderbird < 128.5.
